Sam,

This is an issue which should have been addressed to much earlier. Not just in Asia but all over. Reference to many ordinary posts in this forum, incompetancy is all over the globe not just in Asia.

May be an eligibility Test (Certification Test)as do in software shall be conducted by the code to refine the number of so called "Analysts" around the globe. Ofcourse certification shall be made mandatory.

Looking at some of the basic questions posted in the forum, it would'nt be fair to make the induvidual alone guilty. Curse those firms which make them to carry out engineering without giving them a proper or even a basic training on the subject. Curse those people who supervise their work sitting as seniors above them who obviously does'nt want to teach the younger generation or doest'nt share any of their experience with the younger generation.

Together its the attitude which has to change not just with ignorant but also with the people who keep them ignorant.
